"The location in the very same airport seams great but it is not easy to reach, not clearly indicated; coming with an uber was very difficult to localize as it has no exterior signs. The rooms without windows are clean but logically dark and uninviting"

"It’s an airport hotel, so comparing to other airport hotels this was good, clean, and well staffed. The gym, pool, and breakfast were great. Food at the Resteraunt was good. And front desk staff were very helpful and the room was spacious."
